Flow NXT AT Snowboard Binding
Great concept that actually works
Moving from my Burtons to these due to back surgery and an inability to now sit an reach forward to crank the bindings. I tried the K2 cinch straps and broke them on run three so I was a little apprehensive about these. I got mine and noted they appeared to have higher quality construction than the K2s and many more adjustments. I had read patience is key. I set mine up on my LibTech Skunk Ape, and hit the mountain. They have independant real ratchets to crank down all four strap locales so this is a real improvement form other models I have seen. The actual strap thing is like an I Beam shape and is very comfortable on the foot. I had no pressure points at all. I slid my foot in the blink of an eye and locked the high back and took off, all from a stand. They were not set quite forward enough yet but the ride was very solid, and short of the forward lean I was surprised how nice they worked. I made some more adjustments and got them as responsive as my Burtons had been. They held solid through the jumps and bumps, and speeds, and less bend and reach was a real plus. I experimented with how to solve complaints that if you need to stop along the steeps and get in them you can't. Not true. You can dig in the toe edge hard, and slip in if your balance is good. if it is not you simply drop to your knees and slip your foot in lock the highback push up and go. You totally avoid ever needing to sit on your arse and stretch then do the wild roll over twist and push up. Saves time, torque and stretch of the back. A real plus for me so I can still ride. I must say I am a full convert now these things are brilliant.

Vans Encore Snowboard Boot
Great boots
Got the wild bad brains yellow versions. True to fit perhaps a 1/4 size smallish before breaking in which is how frankly I think they ought to be....nothing sux worse than a loose fitting boot. They broke in well, good flex, boa is very fast twist a few times and off and running. So far so goof very happy with them this season.

Giro Revolver Helmet
Nice helmet with three padding options and mix and match to customize fit. Warm but vented fairly well. Ridge on front makes having goggles up a pain as tehy always pop up and dangle...but overall a good helmet.

K2 Cinch CTS Snowboard Binding
Good idea bad design
Liked the concept a lot coming off back surgery and tiring of sitting on my a@$ to do bindings. Unfortunately early in their first day of use (3rd run) the cable guide snapped and rendered theme useless. it turns out it may look like metal but it is plastic. It is under some stresses as it takes some strength to pull these shut and locked and in closing them I heard pop and there it lay in two pieces. Cool idea, but flawed materials idea....suppose they went plastic to counter weight complaints. Sent mine back got my refund and put back on my Burtons and called it a day.

New Zealand library in catch-22 over 'Lost Girls'
A New Zealand library's refusal over the summer to carry Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie's Lost Girls has received renewed attention, earning a signal boost from Neil Gaiman and a stern denial from the National Library of New Zealand that it had anything to do with the move.
The story illustrates the strange and unenviable predicament of libraries in countries with censorship laws: If they submit the material for government review in hopes it will be cleared, they risk triggering a ban; however, if they don't submit a potentially objectionable book, they risk later being found in violation of the law.
Here's what happened in New Zealand: Over the summer, cartoonist Dylan Horrocks reported he had asked his local library in Auckland to purchase a copy of Lost Girls. The library refused, and he posted its response on his Facebook page:
Thank you for your suggestion to purchase 'Lost Girls' by Alan Moore. Due to the depictions contained within this graphic novel we have been advised by the Office of Film and Literature Classification that we may be at risk of prosecution if we made the book available to customers. As a result Auckland Libraries will not be purchasing copies of this title.
As it turns out, Stuff.co.nz reported this week, the library had purchased a copy in 2008, at a patron's request, but removed it from shelves after concerns were raised about the content.
Gaiman's 'Neverwhere' removed by New Mexico school district
A New Mexico school district has at least temporarily removed Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere from its lone high school following an objection to the fantasy novel's "inappropriate" content." The book has been part of the 10th-grade English curriculum in 2004.
The Alamogordo Daily News reports that Nancy Wilmott, whose daughter was reading the novel as part of an assignment, was offended by a four-paragraph passage on Page 86 that "graphically describes an adulterous sexual encounter between a married man and a single woman in which the F-word is used three times, along with a brief description of groping of one's anatomy."
"I trusted the school system. I trusted the school district to pick proper material, and this is not," Wimott, who contacted school officials last week about the material, told KASA Channel 2. "I did state to the principal that this is rated-R material, and she can't get into a rated-R movie."
On Thursday, the school district ordered Neverwhere "temporarily removed from usage" until it can be reviewed.
Comics A.M. | Chargers oppose San Diego Convention Center plan
Conventions | The San Diego Chargers are opposing the proposed $520 million expansion of the San Diego Convention Center — viewed as crucial to keeping Comic-Con International in the city past 2015 — saying it will interfere with plans for a new football stadium. Instead, the NFL franchise proposes building a second venue a few blocks away, which would be part of a complex that included the stadium but would not be contiguous with the existing convention center. [Los Angeles Times]
Conventions | Meanwhile, on the other coast, New York Comic Con is about to begin, and Luke Villapaz has seven tips for surviving the con. One additional point, though: While it's nice that NYCC has its own mobile app, chances of its actually working inside the Javits Center, which is notorious for its many cell phone dead zones, are slim.

Comics A.M. | Wimpy Kid author spearheads Okla. library benefit
Creators | Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, was traveling the day a tornado devastated Moore, Oklahoma, and he saw the damage on a news broadcast while waiting for a flight. The images stuck with him, so he rounded up fellow creators Lincoln Peirce (Big Nate), Stephan Pastis (Pearls Before Swine, Timmy Failure) and Dav Pilkey (Captain Underpants), all of whom he describes as "novelists whose DNA is in comics," to hold a benefit to rebuild the town's school libraries. The quartet will meet in Norman, Oklahoma, for a panel discussion and will raffle off original art and sell autographed copies of their books this weekend, with all proceeds going to the Moore Public Schools Foundation, earmarked for the school libraries.

Hulk statue draws 'largest turnout at the library ever' [UPDATED]
The Northlake Public Library in suburban Chicago unveiled its Hulk statue earlier this month to a crowd of more than 300. ^Trustee Tom Mukite, who joined the board specifically to spearhead the statue campaign, called the event the "largest turnout at the library ever."
Mukite and the other trustees launched an Indiegogo campaign in April to make improvements to the library that included the addition of a Hulk statue to help attract visitors. According to the campaign's page, "Today's libraries are celebrating creativity, entertainment and life long learning, and they are doing it with technology and popular materials including graphic novels." It continued, "We want to smash [libraries'] stuffy reputation with a 9 foot tall Incredible Hulk Statue." In explaining why the Hulk is an appropriate decoration for the library, the campaign said, "Just as Dr. Bruce Banner transforms into the Hulk, we want our library community members to make their own personal transformations through books, programs, and awesome new equipment. […] The project will show off the fun side of the library and get the community talking. The Hulk will force patrons to look at the library in a whole new way."
Comics A.M. | The 50 greatest graphic novels of all time?
Graphic novels | Dubbing this "the age of the graphic novel," Glasgow, Scotland's Sunday Herald asked an unnamed and unnumbered group of cartoonists, novelists, critics, comics historians and the like for a list of titles that should be in everyone's library. The result is a pretty impressive, and varied, rundown — "the 50 greatest graphic novels of all time" — that ranges from Paul Pope's Heavy Liquid and Lili Carre's The Lagoon to Katshuiro Otomo's Akira and Frank Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns.

'Barefoot Gen' removed from school library in Japan
The school board in the Japanese city of Matsue has restricted student access to Keiji Nakazawa's Barefoot Gen, the autobiographical story of a six-year-old boy who survived the Hiroshima bombing.
The board ruled that the book will remain in elementary and junior high school libraries but only teachers will have access to it; students will not be allowed to check it out.
Barefoot Gen, which originally ran in Shonen Jump, a magazine for teenage boys, is based on Nakazawa's own experiences; he was seven years old and on his way to school when the bomb was dropped, and the adult who was walking with him was burned to death on the spot, and his father, brother and sister were killed when their burning house collapsed on them.
The Matsue school board made its decision last December, after a complaint was filed with them alleging "Children would gain a wrong perception of history because the work describes atrocities by Japanese troops that did not take place." Many Japanese nationalists deny that Japanese troops were involved in the Rape of Nanking or committed war crimes during World War II, such as the events depicted in the book. Nonetheless, the school board said its decision was based strictly on the level of violence in the books and not on the political nature of the complaint.
Barefoot Gen has been acclaimed worldwide, and it is included in the Hiroshima Public Schools' peace education curriculum for elementary school students, although there have been calls for it to be removed from schools there as well.

Digital comics | Jason Snell uses Comic-Con International as an opportunity to take a snapshot of digital comics in "an era of experimentation," and hones in on Madefire, the convention's embrace of technology, comiXology and the growing popularity of the digital-first model. "Digital has made us rethink how we fulfill books into the [print] retail market," Chris Ross, Top Shelf's director of digital publishing, said during a panel. [TechHive]
Legal | The Attorney-Generals Chambers of Singapore has charged cartoonist Leslie Chew (the pen name of Chew Peng Ee) with contempt of court because of four cartoons posted on his Facebook page Demon-cratic Singapore. A hearing on the charges, which could result in jail time and fines, will be held on Aug. 12. Chew's attorney M. Ravi said in a phone interview, "Our judiciary is not like fragile flowers to be offended easily by such criticism. We have full faith in the impartiality and independence of our judiciary."

Comics A.M. | Digital comics sales nearly tripled last year
Publishing | Sales of comics, graphic novels and digital comics totaled $750 million in 2012, making that year the best of the millennium so far for the comics business, according to the retail news and analysis site ICv2. Total print sales were estimated at $680 million and digital at $70 million, a hair over 10 percent of print and almost triple the 2011 total of $25 million. The website also breaks down the top properties in eight graphic novel categories (superheroes, genre, manga, etc.), based on interviews with retailers, distributors and manufacturers. Interestingly, Hawkeye is nestled at No. 7 on the list of Top 10 superhero properties, between Iron Man and Spider-Man. [ICv2]

Comics A.M. | Australian comics scene; Hewlett teases return
Publishing | What begins as a profile of Australian publisher Gestalt Comics dovetails into a brief snapshot of the country's comics industry — or, perhaps, "industry." "There are publishers like Milk Shadow Books and Black House Comics, I think we all help to create the impression of there being an Australian industry," says Gestalt co-founder Wolfgang Bylsma, "but I don't think we're established enough to call it an industry yet. There are very few people who are working full time in comics in Australia." [artsHub]
Creators | Jamie Hewlett chats about art, influences, Gorillaz and whether he might considering returning to comics: "Would I go back to doing comics? I dunno, maybe. It's a lot of work drawing a comic. [Laughs.] And, you know, I did 10 years of drawing comics, and I really enjoyed it, but I'm kind of keen to try other things that I haven't done. But I was talking with Alan [Martin] about the possibility of doing something in a comic form together. We haven't agreed upon anything yet. It's just a conversation. I'd love to work with Alan again. I really like Alan; he's really cool." [Consequence of Sound]

Library falls short of fundraising goal, but still gets its Hulk statue
A library in suburban Chicago fell well short of its $30,000 fundraising goal to purchase graphic novels, a comics-creating station and a 9-foot-tall statue of the Incredible Hulk, but thanks to the generosity of a California businessman, it's still getting a life-sized Green Goliath to call its own.
The trustees of the Northlake Public Library launched an Indiegogo campaign on April 26 in hopes of expanding its collection of about 2,300 graphic novels and manga, adding computer software and hardware, and buying a Hulk statue that might help attract visitors. "This larger-than-life literary character will become a giant green beacon of light to highlight our graphic novel collection, our creation station … not to mention the library's sense of humor and whimsy," the campaign description reads. "The project will show off the fun side of the library and get the community talking. The HULK will force patrons to look at the library in a whole new way."
But with mere days to go, the Indiegogo drive has raised just $3,710; the statue alone costs in the neighborhood of $8,000.
Nebraska library refuses to pull 'Batman: The Killing Joke'
A Nebraska public library has rejected a request to either remove Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's Batman: The Killing Joke from shelves or move the 1988 DC Comics one-shot out of the young-adult area.
"I don't find it worthy of being removed from the shelf," the Columbus Telegram quotes Columbus Public Library board member Carol Keller as saying at last week's meeting.

IDSA Goes After Abandonware
My letter to the IDSA problem children (225 comments)
Well then, maybe they should be more specific about the more grievious software violations. All I can say is that there are better things to pursue than this dry well. I give you what I sent them: "To whom it may concern, You know, instead of suing the pants off of abandonware sites (where is the money in this anyway?), why not just use www.google.com and get busy? I'll give you a few hints. Do a search for 0-day, warez, cracks, etc. I'm certain you could find something FAR more relavent than suing a site that has 15-year old games for crying out loud..."

Longtime Oak Bluffs restaurant Seasons to close Sunday
Seasons Restaurant and Pub in Oak Bluffs, a year-round Circuit Avenue mainstay for more than two decades, will close for good on Sunday, February 3, the owners announced this week.
"It has been something that we wanted to do for a number of years," said Robert Murphy of Oak Bluffs, co-owner along with Jim Ryan of Osterville.
Mr. Ryan is owner of the Game Room chain, one unit of which shares the building that now houses Season's. He spends his time in Florida in the winter.
"Neither one of us wants to go through another season," Mr. Murphy said. "We were going to do it [close], and going to do it, and the best way to do it is just do it. So we said we will close it, put it up for sale or lease, and see where it goes."
Mr. Murphy, owner of Towne and Country Realty in Oak Bluffs, said that he, Mr. Ryan, and Doug Abdelnour bought the business and building 27 years ago in foreclosure as an investment in 1986. Later, the men bought out Mr. Abdelnour's interest.
The location has a storied history of owners and occupants. In the recent past it was known as the Boston House. It became Checkers for one year after the sale and the three partners transformed it into the Atlantic Connection and the other side Seasons Restaurant.
Mr. Murphy said he and Mr. Ryan began phasing out the business about five years ago when they closed the Atlantic Connection, in its time a popular band venue where Islanders gathered to dance and party. The building has been for lease or sale for several years, he said. Last year, the men decided to close the restaurant at the end of the year but hesitated to set a final date when it appeared they might lease it to someone. When that fell through, the closing date was set, he said.
"I have tremendous memories of the place," Mr. Murphy said. "It's been fun, but it really ties you down. There's no break. What I will miss are the customers. You meet such a cross-section of people."
He said the timing is right and will allow a new business to prepare for the summer and employees to find summer employment. Approximately 20 employees, most of them part-time, will lose their jobs.
A sign posted near the employee time clock this week announced the news. "This is not an easy decision but one that has been contemplated for some time," read the note, signed by the owners.
"It's bittersweet," Seasons general manager Mike Santoro told The Times in a telephone call Tuesday evening. "I have a lot of great memories."
Mr. Santoro's Island history is closely linked to the restaurant. He arrived in February 1993 when he was hired to manage the restaurant and Atlantic Connection nightclub.
Over the years, Mr. Santoro took an active interest in the town's economic health. He was elected to the board of selectmen in April 2011.
Mr. Santoro said the business climate has changed over the years since he arrived. The economy and increased competition as more restaurants opened while costs continue to rise has changed the playing field, he said.
He said the challenge is to restrain increases in menu prices at the same time that taxes, sewer bills and the cost of goods, like food and liquor, rise. "When I started a case of Budweiser was $14, $15," he said. "Now it's $21."
He said the Island economy has been slow. More families are purchasing food at the market in the summer rather than eating out.
Mr. Santoro said for now he will have more time to focus on The Lookout Tavern, a seasonal restaurant that overlooks the Oak Bluffs Steamship terminal. He has a partnership interest with Mr. Ryan and Mr. Murphy in the Lookout, and he will continue to participate in the Oak Bluffs Association.
"I think the biggest thing I am going to miss are the employees and the year-round clientele," Mr. Santoro said.
very sad
thank god that dump is shut down.
I agree, if the manager wasn't a selectman,the board of health would have shut this down awhile ago
what about the game room!!!
Have thought it was being run like the owners couldn't care less for the past four or five years.
not sure which owner has no heart but to close in the middle of the winter is not nice to the employees who you say you will miss.
Sad had some great times every time i was there. Employees were the best (bartenders). Best of luck to everyone Seasons will be missed…
A NOTE was left for the employees BY THE TIME CLOCK ?? Did I just read that right in this article?? Apparently they have no compassion or respect for their employees !! How can they sleep at night !! ??
I agree! A note by the time clock was a cold, harsh way to break the news to the employees that their jobs were ending. A face-to-face staff meeting would have been more compassionate and courageous than a wimpy note tacked next to the time clock.
About as harsh as trying to get a beer from these uninterested employees who acted like they were doing you a favor when serving you.
In 1982/3 I worked as a line cook there. The drama of the owners was more stressful than the dynamic business we gave them. There is a consistant need for a year round bistro that regular people can get some pub food at reasonable pricing. The real magic of a small business is the people who as employees draw in clientele on a regular basis. That aspect is the prominent reason why this this place is seeking a new life.
Move Sharkey's out of their little closet space down the street. They are popular & should do well.
I was very saddened by the news, specially after hearing the employees who I see every week, saying they had no notice what so ever. Four days written on a piece of paper by the schedule is not notice. A professional, which they are not, would've called everyone in for a meeting and told them in person. A respectful owner would at least given his "beloved employees" a month or so to look for a job. But to put on the street about 20 or more employees in the hardest month to live on the island is just plain heartless. Bob gave his interview saying how much he'll miss his employees and costumers, but that is a lie if he was worried he would've at least given them some notice.
if they have 20 people working there,it's no wonder they failed

http://i.imgur.com/hG21U.jpg Both teams were too scared to engage too much, but we had the upper hand. We had 2 towers remaining while the enemy team had 0. We tried to push to win at around the 50 minute mark, but they wiped us. We killed all their inhibs again though, so between that and the people that they had dead, they could only send Tristana and Taric to try to end our nexus while we were all dead. He chewed through our first tower, and chewed through the second tower, and got our Nexus to 70% health. At this point we were all still dead but had about 10 seconds left to spawn, we thought we were done for and we had lost the game. Then suddenly BAM. Our inhibitor respawned and prevented Tristana/Taric from attacking our Nexus further, and we respawned before they could kill the inhibitor again. We were pretty freaking lucky seeing as how badly we lost the teamfight right before this moment. Then it was another 20 minutes of them defending in their base, us killing their inhibitors and then trying to end but not winning the fight (though having most of us still survive). Towards the end we finally managed to burst down Tristana (who was doing almost all their damage) and his GA for the win after an extremely stressful and intense 81 minute game. My hands are still shaking a little. Just thought I'd share this experience
I know that feel. I played a 100 minute game today and I was so tense - and then my twitch and my friend's Trundle pulled off some sneaky backdoor nexus diving and we got the win - the feels just flow out of you like a good stretch.

It can be difficult to concentrate on what's covering those heirloom-worthy plates at Vanitas; being surrounded by so much gold-lit glamour can do that to a diner. And there's no chance of forgetting

Cape cod,
Certainly all true about the experience of purchase. Morris spends a lot of effort on creating that experience for their owner's - they do a fine job of marketing and creating a ambiance about their product.
The rest - curious why everyone is so defensive about Morris.
I haven't bashed their quality, just said their build quality is similar to the other build to order builders. We do some of their warranty work in Southern California and have a fairly deep understanding of their level of build quality.
It is my sincere calculus that the reason Morris price their boats so extravagantly isn't because they cost so much to build, rather because Morria spends a very high percentage of their revenues on Marketing - as aptly described by many in this thread.
And yes, industry insiders have described our Harbor line as Bentleys of sailboats. We don't spend hardly anything on marketing, so we can put more into the boat.

Haha Ange...we replied at the same time.
It was a roll with a drawing inside. Those were the prizes the other folks in the trivia contest. Before they called Angela up, they randomly drew two other contestants to answer a question, then they each got a drawing done by a Disney artist. Then Beci "randomly" selected Angela. They got a drawing even though the whole thing was a trick to get Ange onstage. See how crafty we were? Lou and Beci were so great!
I loved seeing it in person & seeing it all over again! Congrats to you & Brandon again!!!! Tears in my eyes again!
That was lovely. Great job for all who worked on that major secret.
Congratulations to the couple.

Aguilera is a soundtrack vet at this point, appearing on hits in Mulan, Moulin Rouge!, Burlesque and more films over the years. "We Remain" is the latest big reveal from the Hunger Games sequel following the premiere of Coldplay's "Atlas." It's Aguilera's first new music since releasing Lotus last year, and she'll surely have plenty of time to plug it this fall now that she has returned to The Voice.
See Xtina's tweet below.
Love the underlying message of @TheHungerGames. "We Remain" is special new song, its message to my fans & how I connect w/ the movie, alike.

Pokemon Platinum Official Trailer 1
Newest trailer for Pokemon Platinum on the Nintendo DS!
OMG! I Can't Hardly Wait 2 Buy My Very OWN DS Lite! or DSI Plus This Pokemon AWEsome Game! ;)
running out of colors I see? Now we go from diamonds, and pearls, to a...Platinum? Wow...the guys who make this are pretty good, I never even thought of that loophole they made until I got Pearl!
sickkk stuffff pokemon has survived a while since i was a kid i cant believe its still popular i still like it though :)
I jave the game its sow asome I just past the game and I have a team gliscor...lvl53, infernape...lvl55, gallade...lvl57, garchomp...lvl60, giratina origin forme...lvl63, and palkia...lvl 70
What is so different exactly. I know the minigames look gd but looks to me the same game as pearl. Might get it though.
i've been waiting for a while, i'm pretty excited bc i've been playing diamond over and over and kinda got sick of it, the changes on this game are going to be awesome
Pokemon came out when I was 17 so I never got into it. My younger brother enjoyed it, however. So, I think I may pick this up since it looks like a good RPG.
Looks pretty cool! I haven't played a Pokemon game in like 10 years so this looks more advanced than the Yellow Version.
I think the game is going to be awesome but it kinda looks like they have giving out alittle too much during the trailer.
Wish this thing had random online battles and an achievement mode :( still looks good though!
Get mine on Saturday! Trading, Ranch & PBR are the only questions I have right now - looking forward to getting my answers on that real soon.
WOW i've not played pokemon since the GB versions (red,silver e.t.c) the only pokemon game i played and loved the most would be the Fire red on GBA. But then i just forgot and lost track of the pokemon games. i've got the first old DS sitting with dust under the bed (i think?) and now i have something to really buy and play for it. its been long but after seeing this i feel like playin again.
Gah. In Australia, Platinum comes out a full 2 months after it does in the US. The DS is region-free, they should just release the US version here instead of waiting 2 months to release a PAL version. I'm sure there wouldn't be any compatibility issues between PAL Diamond & Pearl and US Platinum. ...Would there?
it's the same thing people nintendo is just using the same diamond and pearl versions adding a couple new details this game is nothing more than a duplicate of something that was once cool
Just like Crystal was to GS and Emerald to RS - Platinum will undoubtedly be the pinnacle of this generation; I look forward to playing it
i hope u can trade with old versions because i have a team of lvl 100 :D sick right....mewto:100,inferape:100,torterra:100,darkrai:100,shaymin;100, and a ...salamance:100 i think ihihihhih

I got an interesting link to an article from my friend, Ping.http://eatlocalgrown.com/article/11944-banned-foods.htmlThere is good information there, and it's scary that our country has all of these "foods" that aren't really food. It doesn't help that we have so much that is convenient, but, that it's also unhealthy.Even if we start with butter vs. margarine. Sure, margarine has much fewer calories. But, it's base is oil. Oil, in natural form, is a liquid. Think olive oil, canola oil, etc... So, how does it stay solid? It's a bunch of chemicals. Yes. Chemicals. Not natural food, that turns it into a solid. If you really don't want the calories of butter, which is natural, because it's from cows' milk fats, try using your own bottles and use olive oil, which has a rich buttery flavor if you mix half and half with butter, but, olive oil can also be infused with various herbs and spices, such as crushed garlic, or rosemary... Use that as a spread instead, and you have a flavorful yet healthy alternative to use.This brings me to the use of aspartame or saccharine. Neither are natural, and I've heard warnings about sucralose (calorie free sweetener called Splenda). But, the worst is aspartame and saccharine. They, too, are not fit for consumption while pregnant, nursing or to be fed to your baby... Try nectar, honey or some other healthier sweeteners.Back to the article... It's scary that some of our foods are in danger of making us sick, at the height where our children are becoming more and more obese at younger ages and in greater numbers. There's hormones in milk. Farmed fish, certain farms that have livestock having antibiotics and other steroid type things that are injected. Genetically modified fruits and vegetables. It's hard to keep track of what we ought to be eating.Yet, a lot of us, suffering in this recession, can't afford $5.00 for organic milk, or $10.00/lb for wild salmon, or what ever it may be, that costs twice or more what the 'regular' things are going for... But, are your 'regular foods' really regular? Not compared to what our grandparents bought at the store. But, in cases of childhood hunger, what do we do? Kids can become sick, as well as unable to perform in school if they don't have enough to eat, which a lack of education can lead to poverty, which leads to lack of health care access, which of course, ultimately leads to death. But yet, what if these hormone induced foods that are genetically modified have long term effects that are causing other problems such as higher cholesterol, obesity, high blood pressure, asthma, and other hormone problems that are causing early diseases that also lead to death? It's a no win situation when you can't afford what you need.I found out that my mother and step-father are going on this primarily vegetarian/vegan diet during the week, and splurging only on weekends... I agree that especially as Americans, we NEED to take in more veggies, fiber and a lot less saturated fat, refined starch/sugars, and what not... And I commend them for trying, since it's not fun struggling with extra weight, and even if it's not a weight issue, it's still healthier in the long run.But, here is what the difference is between a vegetarian and a vegan... As a vegetarian, you don't eat animal flesh of any kind. That includes not eating fish, because it's still the flesh of a type of animal. But, will still partake in animal products such as milk, eggs, and what not, because a living being didn't have to sacrifice their lives for it. Plus these are healthier choices to eating a high fat content protein, such as 73% lean ground beef (yuck, it's gross). Plus, you're not cooking away 1/3 of your food out in draining out the fat, so, there's a bit of extra money saved there... But, just to be careful, you need to eat a variety so you get enough of a broad spectrum of amino acids to fuel your muscles properly. Vegans, on the other hand, don't take advantage of animals at all, and do not eat ANY animal products, not even eggs, cheese or honey, because they don't want to steal from the animals at all.It's still difficult to pull off, because, especially during the winter, have you seen the prices of fresh produce? And how do you buy local food when it's February in Wisconsin, and it's almost like a frozen tundra out there? It's not an easy task to eat healthy AND save money.Sure, we can use canned, but, it's not like we need extra salt in our diets either, because we already consume more than what we need, and canned foods have a lot of salt, MSG, and other preservatives that just are NOT good to consume in large amounts, and many people have a sensitivity to these preservatives. They end up ailing one way or another, and think it was bad food - as in spoiled. It may be because you can't handle the high amounts of preservatives. That reeks havoc in my son, who could be laughing and full of energy one moment, and a can of soup later, be vomiting like crazy. Natural foods are important, and we eat as much as we can afford.Food for thought, and it's crazy how it all works out, doesn't it?
Okay. So you're a parent. You have a kid whose fairly smart, and usually has a good head on their shoulders. The kid wants to be a dolphin expert some day. You can afford a descent vacation to take a field trip to Sea World. You let the smart kid who wants to work with dolphins to the area where kid can feed them. Kid gets excited over not having any fish left for dolphins, and picks up the empty container despite signs and warnings NOT to do this near the pool. Dolphin acts like a dolphin, reaches up, bites at the cardboard, and bites the kid's hand while at it. Kid is fine, just some superficial wounds, understands that she messed up... Sea World staff responds, attending to the family.Sounds like a learning session... but, the parents are mad because the dolphin "attacked" the kid? Um. No. The dolphin attacked the container, thinking there was food in it. Duh. The kid is worried more about the dolphin eating the cardboard container than her own hand. The parents want something done about it, even though there are isolated incidents such as this that happen. The last one was 6 years ago. Solution: Parents should keep better eye on their kids while going to sea world. http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/video-dolphin-bites-8-old-girl-sea-world-171256376--abc-news-topstories.html
Exciting news, everyone!
AB-136, aka April's Law Wisconsin, is being heard in the Committee on Criminal Justice and Corrections! We need as many people as possible to either come to the hearing or to submit their written testimony to support this piece of Legislation.
The hearing will take place on Wednesday, October 19,2011 @ 9:30am in room 300 Northeast State Capitol. Let me know if you'd like to carpool.
Just to let you know, the Racine County Sheriff's office is also supporting this.
If you can't make it, please send me an email, so I can submit it - email@example.com or you may send it to the members of the Committee on Criminal Justice & Corrections, which is hearing the Bill to vote on it. Here is a list of those who are on the committee. Please remember to have add your name and pertinent info, and thank them for their time.
I'm hoping to get as many people or letters in, because the more support we have, the better chance it has to come to a vote rather than dropped on the floor.
Thank you all for your kind support, and please don't forget to submit your letters for support, and if you can, please join me at the hearing! Just to ensure that we will be there on time, I'll probably be leaving around 6:30AM to ensure I can be there, because it looks as if AB-136 is the first billing for this hearing.

Bulletin from the cause: Project Safe Girls: Stop Domestic Violence & All Assaults Against Females Go to Cause Posted By: Anny Jacoby To: Members in Project Safe Girls: Stop Domestic Violence & All Assaults Against Females ATTENTION ADVOCATES!! ATTENTION WARRIORS!! ATTENTION MEDIA!! By Lee Davis...
Over the last few days we have seen a few articles written about B4U-ACT and the conferences they are holding. This organization is attempting to normalize pedophilia. They are attempting to change the name of pedophiles to "minor attracted" as well as create a way for the public to be more tolerant of pedophiles and to change and enact laws to help pedophiles and lesson sex offender laws. B4U-ACT was founded by Michael Melsheimer aka Lek who was a sex offender, a pedophile and an activist member of Boy Chat. He ran B4U-ACT with Richard Kramer. Richard Kramer of the website, MHAMic (Male Homosexual Attraction to Minors Information Center) runs a website designed to coerce the public into believing sexual abuse of children is not harmful. B4U-Act is also associated with Reformsexoffenderlaws.org who is attempting to change law lessoning sex offender incarcerations and stop the sex offender registry and also has ties to NAMBLA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB1k5SPLLLU We must get active. We as American's have a duty to protect our children and our nations children from harm. As Child Abuse Advocates we know first hand how physically and emotionally harmful and scarring pedophilia is. We know that child sexual abuse not only physically hurts children, not only mentally hurts children but in some cases kills children. We know it is not "love" as they claim, but ABUSE!!!! We know that sexual abuse of our children must not be tolerated, must not ever be accepted and must be fought with everything we have! Please share this note with everyone you know. Ask everyone to use their voice. Post it on pages of media outlets and every child abuse advocates pages !!! Share this with every single friend !!! The people behind these organizations are CRIMINALS !!!! THEY MUST BE STOPPED, WE MUST OPEN EVERYONE'S EYES TO THIS !!!! Please see the following links below to get a better understanding and confirm this for yourself. B4U-Act Website: http://www.b4uact.org/ Recent news articles about B4U-Act: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/08/25/paving-way-for-condoning-child-rape/ http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/08/24/mental-health-group-looks-to-remove-stigma-from-pedophilia/ http://www.salon.com/life/sexual_abuse/?story=/mwt/feature/2011/08/17/pedophilia http://dailycaller.com/2011/08/15/conference-aims-to-normalize-pedophilia/ I cannot put the websites as facebook is flagging me for attempting to post this. Please research the following websites: Reform Sex Offender Laws website: MHAMic website: NAMBLA: BoyChat: ----------------------------------- Who was Michael Melsheimer the founder of B4U-Act?? Michael Frederick Melsheimer, 67, of Westminster, died Thursday, July 15, 2010, at Carroll Hospice's Dove House. Born Aug. 21, 1942, in Jacksonville, Fla., he was the son of the late Richard L. and Nancy R. Ison Melsheimer. He was an Army veteran having served during the Vietnam era. He was a social service worker, and co-founded and was active with the nonprofit B4U-ACT. Surviving is a friend, Russell Dick, of Westminster. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/carrollcountytimes/obituary.aspx?n=michael-f-melsheimer&pid=144094084 --------------------------------------- B4U-ACT is an advocacy organization for "minor attracted adults" who they claim are being discriminated against by society. On their site they claim to want to help child molesters get the therapeutic help they need to not act on their impulses, but this is a lie they use to keep their 501(c)(3) status and remain eligible for grant money they receive from the state of Maryland. The truth of B4U-ACT is made plain by the online activities of those involved in the group. In May of 2009 a "Richard K" working on behalf of B4U-ACT posted the following on a now defunct child molester forum called Boylove.net: For those of you who don't know, B4U-ACT (www.b4uact.org) is a 501c3 non-profit organization started by Mike Melsheimer, an out BL [boy lover] who posts at Boychat. The goal of B4U-ACT is to promote communication between BLs/GLs and mental health professionals so they can learn about us and start to work with us to counteract stereotyping, stigmatization, and hatred. We also want to help them develop *humane* and ethical ways of working with those BLs who want therapy to deal with society's hatred, or other issues related or unrelated to being BLs. (B4U-ACT does *not* believe BLs are "sick" and need to be "cured".) I now work with B4U-ACT, and was part of the planning committee for this workshop that was held last Thursday. The following is a report of what was discussed at the workshop..http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2767355/posts --------------------------- The late Mike Melsheimer who started B4U-Act was a convicted child molester, first caught in 1984 when he was the director of Pennsylvania YMCA. He befriended the two young sons of a Nicaraguan immigrant and began producing child pornography using the boys. In 2002 Melsheimer made the news in Maryland by publicly demanding the state provide him lists of comprehensive mental health services for his pedophilia. At the same time, he was a frequent poster on pro-child rape forums using his own name or sometimes the handle "Lek" where he spoke at length of the time he spent in Thailand. In one 2009 discussion on a forum called Boychat, Melsheimer is taken to task by other child molesters for B4U-ACT's claim they want to help stop "minor attracted adults" from offending.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2767355/posts ------------ Who is Richard Kramer? Richard Kramer is the owner of the website "Male Homosexual Attraction to Minors Information Center" and a member of "Boy Chat". Here is an example of him speaking out on the BoyChat website: We have to examine our audience and our message. As for the former, we have to do triage. The antis (including the mainstream media, politicians, etc.) are a waste of time. Life's too short and our emotional resources are too limited to get into arguments with people who can't change their minds about us or have vested (political or financial) interests in perpetuating the lies. Then there are the people who already understand (mainly us, but there are a few non-MAAs who understand). We need to identify the middle group: people who don't know us but who we have a chance of helping to understand. These are people who: - are oriented toward compassion, understanding, and acceptance of marginalized people - aren't easily frightened about sex, different perspectives; and - are skeptical of the conventional wisdom. It's also important that they have some kind of influence in society in order to maximize the effect of our contacts with them. As for our message, it's silly and counterproductive to argue a pro-sex position. That's not even the real issue. Society needs to believe we're dangerous in order to justify their hatred. THE HATRED COMES FIRST. Trying to address any issue without addressing the hatred is like treating the symptoms without treating the illness. The gay movement knows that. Very little of the pro-gay literature actually talks about sex. It's all about accepting differences, not hating, stereotyping, and doing violence to people for a characteristic they did not choose, and caring for children and teenagers who are growing up in a society that rejects them.http://absolutezerounited.blogspot.com/2009/03/this-is-important-discussion.html The list goes on and on and on, Doctors and Pedophiles working together to achieve their common goal. I won't list them all here and waste any more space but if you google any of these names you will find a slew of other people working with them to normalize child sexual abuse. These organizations are all tied in with each other through the common ground of being pedophiles. Here is a great video on youtube that thoroughly shows how by combining their collective efforts they are attempting to legalize pedophilia. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB1k5SPLLLU PLEASE REPOST THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your advocacy and support. Take care and STAY SAFE! Anny
There is a petition out there to sign "Caylee's Law", which, in a nutshell is to make it a felony for a parent NOT to report a child missing within 24 hours, and a child dead - accidental or otherwise - within an hour of finding out.
I signed it, because as a child advocate, I do this sort of thing, but, as a parent, I have to question WHY we need a law like this, when to NOT report is already gross neglect on the parent's part of the bargain. But, in the case of certain mothers, like Casey, obviously it's needed because some mothers just plain have no sense about protecting their own children, whether it's lack of it, or just don't care...
Anyway, after signing the petition, to which Senator Van Wanggaard got this letter on my behalf -
To: Sen.Wanggaard Subject: Create Caylee's Law, Not Reporting Child's Disappearance Should Be a Felony
Sen. Van Wanggaard
State Capitol, Room 319 South
2 East Main Street
Madison WI 53702
On July 5, 2011, at 1:15 pm CST, Casey Anthony was found not guilty of first degree murder in the death of her daughter Caylee Anthony. The only charges she now faces are four counts of falsifying police reports, each of which only carries a 1 year prison term. Since she has been in jail since August 2008, she will be out of jail ENTIRELY too soon.
I'm writing to propose that a new law be put into effect making it a felony for a parent, legal guardian, or caretaker to not notify law enforcement of the disappearance of a child within 24 hours, so proper steps can be taken to find that child before it's too late.
This way there will be no more cases like Casey Anthony's in the courts, and no more innocent children will have to go without justice.
The case of Caylee Anthony was tragic, and there is no reason for another case like this one to hit the courts. Let's do what is necessary to prevent another case like this from happening.
Note: this email was sent as part of a petition started on Change.org, viewable at www.change.org/petitions/create-caylees-law.
To respond, email email@example.com and include a link to this petition.
Lika Saliscente
Here is the response.
Dear Lika,
Thank you for sharing your opinion that Wisconsin should enact Caylee's Law, stiffening penalties for failure to report a missing child or the death of a child. I value your opinion, and I appreciate that you took the time to share your opinion with me.
Several of my colleagues have expressed interest in drafting a version of Caylee's Law, and Representative Samantha Kerkman (R-Powers Lake) is leading the way in the Assembly. Any child abuse case is a tragedy, and we must protect our children.
It is important to note that Wisconsin law already provides safeguards against incidents similar to the Casey Anthony case. Wisconsin Statute 948.21 states that, "Any person who is responsible for a child's welfare who, through his or her actions or failure to take action, intentionally contributes to the neglect of the child is guilty of…a Class D felony if death is a consequence." There are additional state statutes that address hiding a corpse (Class F felony) and providing false information in the case of kidnapped or missing persons (Class H felony).
Again, thank you for contacting me on this issue. Should any legislation come before me in the Senate, I will keep your concerns in mind. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns on this, or any other, issue.
Van Wanggaard
Wisconsin State Senator
So he says, "Any child abuse case is a tragedy, and we must protect our children". Yet this very same person told me ON THE PHONE while talking to him about April's Law that he "disagrees with Cory Mason's draft" because it didn't include a high school sweethearts clause...
Well, HELLO! When do high school sweethearts kidnap each other for the purposes of rape, sexually molest and possibly kill? Since when do high school sweethearts now construe a situation of an adult preying on a child, when most often there are, on average only 3 years between the two people at hand?
I am a little bit disgusted here, is because here a national case gets such high exposure, and a stand alone signature w/o comment gets this type of support for Caylee's Law (which I expect parents to follow even without this in place), yet, as a constituent who spent 3 years working on April's Law to protect our children from sex predators on and offline, with phone calls, emails, etc, and he won't support it because of a high school sweetheart clause?
I am really having a hard time digesting this, because, parents are supposed to be responsible for our children, and this should be a given to begin with, and he supports it... Yet with all my research that I've sent him of cases, right here in Racine of adults preying on children, teachers abusing students, etc... and he won't support that. So, what, it's okay to sexually abuse our children, but, if we cross the line and kill them, that's when it's wrong?
I'm just absolutely disgusted... I apologize for the lettering, but, I couldn't expand the email exchange. Please don't mind while my gaskets are blowing.
Representative Mason is putting the final touches on April's Law Wisconsin, to ensure that kidnapping for intent to molest children gets added into the current draft, and will hopefully be introducing it to the Assembly later this month. This is VERY exciting to begin with.
And now, even MORE on the good news, up and up, Senator Wangaard's office FINALLY contacted me about April's Law Wisconsin, and wants to set up a meeting in the first part of May.
I'd sent him a message through one of these other sites, and got this automated message back from him:
Thank you for contacting my office. I appreciate that you wrote to me to express your concerns. Please be assured that my staff and I are reading every email we receive. We are still working through a backlog of emails from the budget repair bill, but we will review your email as soon as possible.
Van Wanggaard Wisconsin State Senator Senate District 21—Serving Racine County
My response back was:
In reading every email, please ensure that you get back to me ASAP as for the April's Law draft that I've emailed to you several times. My home phone is 262-xxx-xxxx - we ought to do a meeting to talk about protecting our children from sex predators on and off line.
From J the legislative assistant:
So, I'm shooting for Monday, May 2, for an afternoon coffee/tea. I'm looking forward to it, and well, lets hope all goes well to get April's Law Wisconsin into the law books! Thanks for all supporters of April's Law, even if in concept only. For now, I'm happier than pie. WOOT!
A friend of mine checked this with snopes and they agree.

A beautiful new edition—the first in nearly twenty years—of the work of Wallace Stevens, a founding father of contemporary American poetry, with a dazzling range of work that is at once emotional and intellectual. As John N. Serio reminds us in his elegant introduction, Stevens has written more persuasively than any other poet about the significance of poetry itself in everyday life: "The imagination—frequently synonymous with the act of the mind, or poetry, for Stevens—is what gives life its savor, its sanction, its sacred quality."
This rich and thorough selection—published in the 130th anniversary year of Stevens's birth—carries us from the explosion of Harmonium in 1923 to the maturity of The Auroras of Autumn in 1950 and the magisterial Collected Poems published by Knopf in 1954. To be drawn in once more by "The Emperor of Ice-Cream," "Sunday Morning," "The Idea of Order at Key West," "Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction," to name only a few, is to experience again the mystery of a poet who calls us to a higher music and to a deeper understanding of our vast and inarticulate interior world.
This essential volume for all readers of poetry reminds us of Stevens's nearly unparalleled contribution to the art form and his unending ability to puzzle, fascinate, and delight us.
"[W]e have long needed, and now possess, through the unerring taste of John N. Serio—editor of The Wallace Stevens Journal and 'The Cambridge Companion to Wallace Stevens'– a genuine Selected Poems. . . . Serio, with distinct courage, has chosen to include most of Stevens's major sequences, declaring, by this act, that Stevens would not be Stevens without them. . . . John Serio's winning introduction and informative chronology open up these poems, with their human eloquence, to a generation born a hundred years after Stevens." —Helen Vendler, New York Times Book Review
"The Selected Poems is the volume that will introduce Stevens's work to a new generation of readers. It will also remind veteran readers how great poetry can literally help us to live our lives. This is no museum or monument. We find in these pages what Stevens called the 'bread of faithful speech,' presented in a way that draws us irresistibly, gratefully, to the table." —Milton Bates
"For many, Wallace Stevens is the greatest American poet of the twentieth century. No matter how many theoretical and critical interpretations of Stevens's writing there are, in the end it comes down to the inexplicable intricacies and ecstasies of form these poems of exemplary intellectual integrity provide. This meticulously edited Selection by renowned scholar John Serio presents Stevens's poetry with a space and clarity that other editions have not offered." —Susan Howe

When Fox Searchlight Pictures acquired Steve McQueen's Shame for distribution in the US, it was a risky move to say the least. This, after all, is a film that focuses on sex addiction and features full front nudity from both its two stars, pretty much guaranteeing an NC-17 rating.
However, it was also a bold move, for this is a film that features Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan, two of the best young actors working today. Furthermore, it's the second feature from the director who brought us the harrowing masterpiece Hunger. To say it had great expectations would be a great understatement.
After playing at Toronto and Venice to great acclaim (you can check out our review here), and with an upcoming screening at London Film Festival, Shame looks to have exceeded those hopes. Due to it's explicit nature, it may not be an Oscar frontrunner or a box office hit, but it's sure to please fans of McQueen and Fassbender and it may just be my most anticipated film of the whole year.
Now, via twitter, Fox have announced that the release date of Shame is less than 2 months away:
"Big news: we're releasing Steve McQueen's SHAME in the US on December 2nd, 2011!
Looks like they'll have to get an advertising campaign going pretty shortly but this is great news for film fans. Lets just hope McQueen stays firm on his decision that nothing will be cut. After stripping to the barebones of visceral acting in Hunger, Fassbender is said to have another intense role here, but the film is supposed to be more mainstream (albeit less than most films) and to have more of a narrative feel. Check out the most recent clip here featuring Fassbender with his co-star James Badge Dale.
So perhaps it will reach more people than the director's last feature. The talent involved in this is considerable, and coupled with the fact it's set in New York City, it will hopefully make a decent amount of money when it goes up against We Need To Talk About Kevin.
Brandon is a 30-something man living in New York who is unable to manage his sex life. After his wayward younger sister moves into his apartment, Brandon's world spirals out of control. From director Steve McQueen (Hunger), Shame is a compelling and timely examination of the nature of need, how we live our lives and the experiences that shape us.
Were you a fan of Hunger? Will you be going to see Shame?

I made 2 bb with glass globs using loctite clear silicone adhesive sealant. I first sanded the balls, then painted then glued globs on. Both balls are losing the globs. Whatever is the problem here. I've used this glue on mushrooms and they are doing fine. I sure would like to find a glue to use for inside AND outside. This is killing my desire to to want to make mosaics for gifts. Sure don't want gifts falling apart. What a disaster that would be.
